Story after the cut ...
Donald Trump has been accused of banning black models from parties and calendar competitions by two former business associates.
The Republican hopeful allegedly told planned business partners George Houraney and Jill Harth, who run the American Dream Calendar Girls company, that 'black female contestants' were not allowed to attend a Mar-a-Lago party in the early 1990s.
He is also said to have neglected to pick black women from sets of photographs sent to him by Mr Houraney so they could work out who attended events.

Jill Harth (pictured with Donald Trump in 1992) once accused Donald Trump of raping her but now says she would vote for him. Trump and Ms Harth met in 1992 when her ex-husband George Houraney and Trump were working together on beauty pageants.

Mr Trump has vehemently denied both claims, saying he did not receive pictures and did not exclude black women from events. The couple made the comments in a civil lawsuit, which Ms Harth submitted over claims the politician groped her, the Boston Globe reported.
In her deposition, she said he also 'directed that any black female contestants be excluded' from the Florida party.
She added: 'He just wanted to make sure that the girls were up to his standards.
'He was always very interested in every phone call about who had the great bodies and who didn’t, who was more beautiful. He was always on the search for the most beautiful.' Mr Houraney, whose company ran pageants in Las Vegas, added that Mr Trump's type was: 'Blond hair. All American look. Not too tall, not too short.'
The complaint has since been dropped but Ms Harth insisted she stands by her allegations, according to the Globe. Mr Trump denied groping or making sexual advances to Ms Harth. Mr Trump was contacted for further comment but his campaign is yet to respond.
